I’m The King Chapter 1178: : Carrying forward the past and ushering in the future (68) Lonely 1 throw
Listening to Guo Fu's words, Li Mingjun's heart thumped. Yes, the weather is so cold now, and it's the time of the New Year. The two sides have confronted each other for so long, and there has never been a large-scale confrontation. There may be great gains. Now, as Guo Fu said, I am going to be poor and crazy. The key is that if this continues, my army will fall apart. He told Guo Fu that a batch of supplies would come from Jinyang, but Li Mingjun actually knew the exact amount, and that little thing was not enough to fit between his teeth.
Li Mingjun also knows Zhao Qi's difficulties. The imperial court is already poor enough, and it still needs to meet the needs of the Qin people. If there is no word, the face of the other party will be pulled down, and there is a big meaning that if there is a disagreement, the face will be torn apart, but now the court cannot do without the support of the Qin people. I'm calling.
East Zhao's army on the opposite side made Li Mingjun envious of all the weapons and equipment they needed in their daily life. He wanted to grab a ticket, go grab a ticket, and a voice in his heart kept clamoring.
"What preparations did you do?" Li Mingjun, who was cautious by nature, looked at Guo Fu, who was eager to try, and asked.
Hearing Li Mingjun's tone, Guo Fu was overjoyed, stretched out his hand and pulled a map, spread it on the table, "Please look, General, this is our Pinggu, and here is the target I am going to attack this time. Huining County in Dai County. There are about 5,000 Eastern Zhao troops stationed in Huining County, including 3,000 in the county seat, another 1,000 in Oak Bend, and 1,000 in Changqiaoji. The target is not these three places. It is the village below Hui Ning. General, I have sent scouts to investigate carefully. There are eight villages closest to us. There are no garrisons in these villages, only some township troops. Combat strength Of course it is not worth mentioning, but these villages are very rich now, at least there is no shortage of food. And these eight villages are 30 miles away from Oak Bay and Longqiao. For the cavalry, this point The distance is nothing, but for the infantry, thirty miles is half a day's journey in such weather. It is enough for us to finish the run." Guo Fu said.
"Eight villages, how much can we grab?" Li Mingjun frowned. Unlike Guo Fu, he needs to look at the problem from the perspective of the whole army. At least he must be able to solve the problem of his own army's wintering this year, as to whether it will cause a big battle between the two sides. That's a question for the higher-ups to consider. Without enough winter supplies, it's hard to say whether I can survive this winter. Where can I take care of other things.
"General, don't underestimate these eight villages, which one is richer than ours." Guo Fu licked his lips, "The Han people are indeed good at managing people's livelihood, although These places have suffered successive years of wars. But this year, the time has recovered very quickly. I heard that their imperial court has some special care for Dai County."
Li Mingjun tapped the table lightly with his fingers. "Changqiaoji is a town with a garrison. There should be an enemy's military supply warehouse in it?"
Guo Fu was taken aback, "In the general, there are a thousand enemy troops stationed in Changqiao, and it is also close to the county seat. If we can't fight here for a while, the enemies of Huining will come out and stick to us. But it’s hard to get away. I only have 3,000 people here, and taking into account the old, weak and injured, there will be no more than 2,500 people who can go into battle.”
"If you really want to do it, then do a big one." Staring at the map in Guo Fu's hand, Li Mingjun took a deep breath, "Of course I won't just use the troops in your hand, I will Call more troops."
"General, if we mobilize troops on a large scale, I'm afraid it will arouse the vigilance of the other party. The enemy has a lot of eyeliners on our side. They only need to use a bag of food to buy a The common people report the news for them. If the suddenness is lost, it will be meaningless." Guo Fu shook his head.
"Don't worry, I won't use other troops. I will use my personal barracks, and no one in the other camps will move." Li Mingjun pointed to the map and said, "You attack Tongling Village first. Ji recently, after the fight, the enemies of Changqiaoji will naturally go to the rescue when they get the wind. You sweep down along your established route, and send their messengers to report to them all the way. I will ambush them on the way , After defeating them, I immediately rushed to Changqiaoji, and you retreated with the things you snatched back."
"What if Hui Ning's enemies come out?"
"That's why I only use my personal guard battalion. My personal guard battalion is composed of cavalry. Although there are less than 2,000 soldiers, they can advance and retreat freely. They can deal with the thousand enemies in Changqiao. It's not easy to catch, as long as they rush out to rescue in a hurry, that is an opportunity, I am afraid that they will be timid and dare not come out at all, then I will be blind in vain."
"How can I be blind, at least I have robbed eight villages here." Guo Fu said.
"I'll transfer my personal guard camp to come here secretly. Two days later, I will start to act." Li Mingjun slapped the table. "Before this, don't tell anyone that your battalion may not be clean until the last moment of the operation, and then we will explain our goal down."
"Understood."
Two days later, when it was just getting dark, the soldiers in Guo Fu's army were surprised to find that today the gang's battalion was brightly lit, puffs of smoke rose, and the tempting aroma drifted down the wind from nowhere. Walked out, looking in that direction full of doubts, you know, it has been a long time, they don't open fire at night, two meals a day, one meal in the morning with pickles, one hour after lunch The meeting had lunch again, and after this meal, it was time for the next day. It was precisely because of the shortage of food that even the routine drills in the army were canceled. The drills required strength, so naturally they would get hungry quickly.
"It smells like meat." A soldier wrapped in tattered cotton wadding sniffed vigorously and said.
"You want to eat meat, don't you think you're crazy?" A veteran beside him laughed.
"It really smells like meat, smell it." The soldier sniffed again and said with certainty.
During the conversation, several soldiers came here from the other side of the kitchen, carrying baskets and vats in their hands, walked up to them, and put the things heavily in front of everyone, the leading officer said loudly: " One person, one bowl, one bowl of broth."
The crowd immediately cheered loudly, turned around and ran to the tent in a swarm, and rushed out again with their own bowls.
"Line up, line up." The whip in the officer's hand fell down without thinking, "Otherwise you won't have to eat."
Finally lined up, the cooks and soldiers began to distribute. An old soldier was holding a bowl and steamed buns, looked at the officer and said, "Boss Suo, don't fight any more."
"You are a shrewd old boy." The officer surnamed Suo said: "After eating and drinking enough, we will naturally go to work, but don't worry, this time we are not going to fight with the enemy's army. Fighting, but going to rob their village, if we don’t get something back, how are we going to live this winter? We’ll all freeze to death.”
"The enemy's side..." As an old guy who had fought many battles with him, the veteran had some lingering fears.
"Don't worry, the superiors have found out, those Eastern Zhao troops are busy celebrating the New Year, and they are not prepared at all. This time we will attack suddenly, and run away after hitting. What are you worried about, if we can't defeat the Han army, could it be that we can't even deal with the Eastern Zhao army?" The officer laughed in a low voice.
When it was completely dark, Guo Fu gathered a group of officers under his command, looked at the crowd, and said excitedly: "Everyone, you have already cleared the goal of our operation this time. What we have to do is to rob These eight villages, you know what is going on in our army, if you don’t get something back, sooner or later you will be naked, and your soldiers will have to run away, so this time, we must grab everything, as long as it is what we need, Get them all back."
"General Guo, what should we do if the enemy's reinforcements come? It's easy to grab, but when we come back, we must have brought a lot of things, and the action will inevitably be slow."
"Don't worry, it's not just us, the general's personal guard battalion will follow us. The reinforcements will be left to the general. We just need to grab them." Guo Fu laughed. .
Hearing Guo Fu's words, everyone felt at ease. The general's personal guard battalion is the most powerful unit in the army, and they are all cavalry. The chances of a surprise attack being successful are greatly increased.
"Damn it~IndoMTL.com~ I'm so poor and crazy." A dental general said angrily.
"We can't count on the imperial court, we have to rely on ourselves. Damn it, no matter how powerful the Han army is, now I'm going all out, sticking out my head and shrinking my head, I'd rather have a good time .”
"If the court is always like this, what should we do? We can't always rob it every time. If we rob it this time, what will we do in the future?" Different voices sounded.
"Damn it, what do you care about so much, let's talk about it after a while, these days, one day counts as one day, if you have wine today, you will be drunk today." Someone yelled loudly.
Listening to the yelling of his subordinates, Guo Fu's excited mood was as if a scoop of cold water had been poured on his head. Yes, even if he got it this time, what should he do next time? This kind of thing can't be done again. Impossible to succeed every time.
"Get ready to go, listen to me, if you want to succeed, the speed of marching is very important. Today, your soldiers are full of food and drink, run for me with all your strength, soldiers are very fast, The faster the speed, the higher the possibility of our success. Whether everyone can have a good year depends on this action." Guo Fu roared loudly. (to be continued)
